The first three pictures are paintings of 19th century Kashmir; the fourth and last picture is a painting by visionary artist Joseph Parker who specializes in depicting huge psychedelic suns.

I am in awe Lasha and insanely jealous. I’d love to write poetry like that. Alas, I am a most unpoetical creature. Love the artwork, too, especially of Kashmir. “If this is heaven, this is it, this is it.”

A Pharisee Masonic poem on ‘light’ to take back to your synagogue tomorrow:
—–
MASONIC LIGHT

With the light of thirty- three(33) thousand suns,
Freemasonry illuminates the darkest corners of the earth;
The benevolence of our gentle craft,
Is a blessing from the Great Architect Of The Universe.(not creator)

To all mankind
Beyond the boundaries of limits
Set only by crippled feeble minds
Through the perils of endless time

Our Masonic brotherhood perseveres
Quietly serving others, sometimes out of sight
For breaking the darkness
Is the illuminated brightness of Masonic Light

I can´t see any hatred in Lashas poetry. I don´t think she hates anyone.
You say you´re a far better poet than Lasha. Thats self-assertion and thats a sin.
You should love your neighbor, that`s true. But I think that your neighbors are only jews
and thats why you love them. Besides you are a hater. You hate Lasha for sure.

How incredible is it that the misapprehension of one single word Christ was alleged to have used is responsible probably more than any other for the ‘milk-toasting church insanity’ which has weakened his followers.

“Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do.”

The misapprehension: that the use of the word “forgive” implied “to condone their actions”, where “condoning” is what in effect resulted

Getting our brothers and sisters to pick up the dropped sword is what’s needed more than anything else – with ALL of what would define the “sword”.

Jesus was not forgiving the jews. He was forgiving the Romans. “For they know not what they do” is the key. The Romans did not know the truth of what they were doing. To the Romans, Jesus was just a fellow that the jews demanded to be executed. Jesus had broken no Roman law which is why Pilate literally washed his hands of the incident.

The jews on the other hand knew exactly what they were doing. Before being captured, Jesus said that the jews were doing the lust of their father, the devil, who was a liar and murder from the beginning. While demanding Jesus’ execution, the jews said that his blood was on their hands and on their children after Pilate washed his hands of the deal. The jewish consistency of doing their father’s lusts reigns even through to the present day. They still know what they are doing.

The misapprehension is not the word “forgive.” The misapprehension is who Jesus was forgiving that has led to the condoning you mention.

Just another way of looking at it. We all get to pick what we believe. It’s that free will thing.

Yes, of course I know that in the strictest sense the jews knew exactly what they were doing. But in another sense so did the Romans.

The point I wanted to get across in saying the JEWS didn’t know what they were doing can be seen within a context of realizing that ALL of Creation is properly defined as the Will of Love. The great mystery asks why these jews who sought the murder of Christ didn’t see it that way. This explains my saying that Christ wept over the fact that anyone conceived of love could possibly have this take on their existence.

But the Romans were equally guilty in their complicity – essentially no different, and perhaps worse in that they didn’t have to allow the sons of the devil to get their way. They were the rulers of the land after all. An easy decision for them to make either way

Coming from a racist and Christian hater that is funny. You should be ashamed of your violent, racist religion. And when you finally take an honest look at yourselves and admit what a disgusting group of people you are, then you will be accepted by the rest of the world. Until then, you will be thrown out of countries continuously for the hateful, bigoted traitors that you are.

Thanks for sparing us. Jews are the worst artists. They have no sense of beauty. As the creators of modern art that is clear. I doubt their poetry is much better. But Jews are very talented in lying and creating wars. They do that better than anyone else.

Seymore Zak, you confuse uncomfortable truths about Israel and supporters of mass-murder of innocents with the misnomer, antisemitism (a misnomer because European Jews who squat on stolen Palestinian lands aren’t Semitic people).
False charges of antiSemitism, and relentless Holocaust regurgitation crush discussion of illicit Israel’s crimes by all but the brave, like Lasha Darkmoon.

Heck, here’s Easter with no mention of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ even. Lasha Dark Jew gives us a hindoo “Easter”. And gives us a hindoo “Easter” on Catholic Good Friday no less.

Lasha Dark jew is so eager to indulge in jew kabbalah alchemy, She just can’t wait to give us a hindoo “christian” “Easter”. She gives us a hindoo “Easter” on the most solemn day on the Catholic calendar. That’s how eager she is to indulge in her jew kabballah alchemy. How disgusting. How putrid is this jew JDL owned-and-operated hydra-headed shit website. Nauseating.

“jew”, “Lasha”, “JDL owned-and-operated”, and “shit” are redundant synonyms of course, as we all already know.

my favorite place, in spring, to be,
is alongside dublinsmick,
floating down the sacred ganges,
reminiscing on past reincarnations,
and dreaming about our future,
when we will become One,
with Cosmic Reality,
traveling the universe,
on translucent moonbeams,
our consciousness merging,
with the astral energy of sister Lucy,
Skipping….. and hopping,
from galaxy to galaxy…..

Like OMG!!!! This is the Greatest poem ever ever! OMG!!! Lasha’s poem is totally transcendent! Like entirely inspiring! Her greatest ever ever!

I’m wearing the shower curtain on my head now and I’m waiting for the poetic inspiration to kick in! OMG!!! I’m going to be a Great poet too, any minute now! I just have to get used to walking around one-eyed without bumping into the furniture. I think I can get use to all the fame and fortune and accolades I’ll be receiving soon . . . as soon as the shower curtain on my head starts inspiring me to compose like really transcendent poetry.

The hard part is not bumping into the furniture and bruising myself all over. But art isn’t easy.

‘From Darkness to Light’. I like. I wonder if I didn’t know it’s you, I’d think or feel differently? Poetry rarely stands up, I have my few, Patchen, Bukowski (and ones he likes) and… Supposing you were homeless or famous or… all in all. Like. A lot. Reread/read, and that says something. You good. Please more, Mark.

Judaism, Islam and Christianity have screwed this world and brought it to the brink of war.
Christians do not know of the date of the faked death of their savior to assuage the bloodlust of their Jew God. And they attribute the Winter Solstice as being the birth date of their solar savior. And no mention of where their Jesus was during the time he was wandering in the wilderness.
The wife and child murderer Emperor Constantine convened the Council of Nicea in 325 to elevate the mythical Jesus to be consubstantial with the Father. He told the scribes to “make the stories to amaze” and then slapped the Jew books on top of them. Religion is for control of the masses. It has ever been so.
Sports, politics and religion are the pursuits of the dumb and ignorant. You are not your body. Your consciousness reincarnates and you set up your life’s path to evolve as you desire and karma will see everything balanced. All time is now and space does not exist.
You have created everything you experience.
Extraterrestrials patrol our skies at this very moment.
Break out of your religious stupor. Get out of the way of the progress of mankind to higher more evolved forms.

I get the perception that your vision is somewhat hampered on account your head being surrounded by your own – or someone else’s – intestinal walls. G.K. Chesterton spoke of people like you who hope to change the world through what you think is your lofty and higher consciousness while you ignorantly slander Christianity and other things that you have a grossly distorted view of when he said, “Doubtless you are [a new type of man], but you are not nearer to the perfect man, for he has been already in the mind of God. We have fallen with Adam and we shall rise with Christ; but we would rather fall with Satan than rise with you.”

Srila Prabhupada: Just like Lord Jesus Christ. He was threatened with death punishment. He was crucified. Still, he was convinced, his relationship with God. He appeared in his spiritual body, certainly. Jesus Christ told, if I remember, that “Lord, excuse these persons,” who were crucifying him. Is it not? He knew that “These rascals, they are killing me, but… They are offending certainly. So they do not know that I cannot be killed, but they are thinking that they are killing.” You see? But that was offensive, therefore he begged Lord to be excused because God cannot excuse to the offenders of the devotee. He can excuse one who is offender to God, but if somebody is offender to the devotee, God never excuses. Therefore he prayed for them. That is devotee’s qualification. He prays for everyone, even of his enemy. And he could not be killed. That he knew. But those rascals, they thought they were killing Jesus Christ.

“God appears, and God is Light,
To those poor souls who dwell in Night;
But does a Human Form display
To those who dwell in realms of Day.”
– William Blake

@HP
I enjoy reading Srila Prabhupada. My favourite book is “The Teachings of Queen Kunti”. He does love to use the word “rascal”. In my mind’s ear I can hear it with that delightful Indian accent. Om Shanti!

Just checking into this site after a while. Very glad to read and see Lasha, creative. Not-at-all surprised to see comments come as they are (but, know that those who herein comment are very astute – but, alas, are not poets…).

Lasha – do not give up on Love so much as to call (him?) ‘dead’. There are others for you, princess (though I can appreciate that sentiment!). Thank you for offering this poetic intermission. We are very fortunate to be allowed here.

There’s something else which needs saying… Some of you call Lasha a ‘hater’, but your perceptions may be warped only because she and the administration allow your OWN blatant hate to be published word-for-word, here. Think about it.

Good points Gilbert. And for those posters with carping. caterwauling and cretinous brains, perhaps this poem by Saint John of Cross will satisfy you. He was a great Christian saint, but this poem could have been written by Lasha or any of the great Hindu or Sufi mystics.
Dark Night.
1. On a dark night, Kindled in love with yearnings – oh,
happy chance!-
I went went forth without being observed, My house
being now at rest.
2. In darkness and secure, By the secret ladder, disguised-
– oh, happy chance! –
In darkness and in concealment, My house being
now at rest.
3. In the happy night, In secret, when none saw me,
Nor I beheld aught, Without light or guide, save
that which burned in my heart.
4. This light guided me, More surely than the light
of noonday.
To the place where he (well I know who!) was
awaiting me –
A place where none appeared.
5. Oh, night that guided me, Oh, night more lovely
than the dawn,
Oh, night that joined Beloved with lover, Lover
transformed in the Beloved!
6. Upon my flowery breast, Kept wholly for himself
alone,
There he stayed sleeping, and I caressed him, And
the fanning of the cedars made a breeze.
7. The breeze blew from the turret, As I parted his
locks;
With his gentle hand he wounded my neck, And
caused all my senses to be suspended.
8. I remained lost in oblivion; My face I reclined on
the Beloved.
All ceased and I abandoned myself, Leaving my
cares forgotten among the lilies.

So masticate on that you with viperous tongues. And may I suggest you read the book “Dark night of the Soul”!
The canticles of St. John are also beautiful. I’d love to be able to read them in the original Spanish, but am, alas, unlearned in that language.

A fine Poem, very nearly perfect, were it not so weak in parts, namely, the unnatural fusion of images, as the top painting clearly is Germanic, and the rest Indian. But, no matter, as what is beautiful is… beautiful.

And the Poem itself, what of it? Well, it speaks of a loss, I dare say of a personal loss, quite probably begun with a vast promise, but ended, as it appears to have ended, in disappointment, like most sudden and intense loves do. But, was it the dead lover, whose dying eyes the dark Poetess now laments? or was it the lamenter herself who caused it? We shall never know, other than to say that the ”morbidezza,” which the Italians and those who speak it most singularly and perfectly well describe as a lover’s anguish, is rather great in this piece, and it moves even those of us who are generally difficult to move.

”It is finished! It is finished for ever!” What is finished? Love? Life? That Lover’s life? This Poetess’s life? The melancholy Madame does not even hint, and it is left to us, poor mortals, to guess, even if some of us may easily intuit at that which she so cryptically means. Not everyone is easily kept in the dark, Madame, and some of us there are who see where ten-thousand eyes cannot! But whose loss is the greater? one is here made perforce to ask. The lover’s, whose voice we can never again hear? or the darksome Poetess’s? whose love and loss of her which she now laments she knew perfectly well she could never quite equal?

And why is her world now enveloped in darkness, if the Philosophers and the Poets always remind us that after we leave this one, all is not only light but eternal light? Could it be, I wonder, that what we have here is a case of unconscious projection, in which the writer’s own world is black, pitch black, and which she passionately longs to illumine but can no more do so than can the stubborn blinds illumine a room with the Sun’s pencils by doggedly keeping themselves shut?

But she ends the Poem cleverly, our now-lonely Poetess does, and to my taste, most satisfactorily so, by referencing the Golden Bough, for it is from Vergilius, my favourite Poet, that we have learned what Mythology really is; and if we passionately long to unite, and permanently to establish, within our minds truths, eternal truths, which alone endure, we, too, must perforce make recourse to Mythology and Dreams, and view every other truth not only through its prism but with an aspect most contemptible, for it is in Dreams that we truly live, and it is in Myths that we truly live for ever.

Mme Noir Lune should apply her mind when dealing with her invisible lover in the same fashion and manner in which a certain Madame d’Anguille applied hers: she plunged it in, and with it herself, head first, and concealed her dark self in the deep and private crevices of that of her lover’s, without fear, without care, without shame, even if, before doing so, she described her with a bitterness most incredible, and a hatred most deep, so bitter and deep in fact, as to attract demons, with whom, I dare say, the said Madame Noir Lune appears to be more in love than with the one and only who truly loved her.

Take it from me: True lovers are never loved, they are lamented and missed…
Tra-la-la…

Such an ASTUTE comment! Comprehensive to both content and poetess. Your comment brings to mind an observation made by a learned physician on the topic of placebos and their effect: ‘By the awesome, suggestive power of the mind, they can be very potent.’

‘Love’ in the context of romantic poetry is absolutely NOT REAL. It is a suggestion of an imagined state, proved by the stages of awakening [from it]. Anyone who has been ‘in love’, and ‘lost’ it, usually, at some point, awakens to a bright, sunny morning, and realizes the verity of the illusion – and wonders why-in-hell they allowed themselves to endure such TORMENT, in the first place! (I think I finally understand the inspiration for the old rock song ‘Broken Hearts Are for Assholes’. 🙂 )

(I think my own, longest ‘love affair’ lasted about three years – the last six months of which were excruciating, but produced some decent poetry – until I finally ‘awakened’ and realized what a scuzz-bag bitch it was to whom I had given my heart! Haha. What an ASSHOLE I was to myself! 🙂 )

@Madame Bovary
Indeed the top picture is Germanic, however look at the boats! If you travel extensively throughout Asia you will see incongruous sights like Germanic buildings next to mosques and German castles. Remember India was under British rule for about 190 years, since 1757, after Clive won the battle of Plassey.

“O’G-d make Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, and Hindus to abandon their religions and accept the Torah of Israel,”Jewish High Holy Day prayer.

Canadian Catholics and members of several other Christian denominations will be celebrating Good Friday on April 3, 2015, which is a national holiday except in Quebec province.

Good Friday is the day when Christians commemorate the death of their Lord Christ on the Cross – an accursed death for an imposter and liar in the Jewish Bible, The Old Testament. However, Cross has been one of major pillars of Christianity since 325 CE, when Roman King St. Constantine (died 337 CE) declared Christianity as state religion.

Organized Jewry (ADL, AJC, B’nai B’rith, World Jewish Congress and several other pro-Israel Jewish organizations) lead by Abraham Foxman have been fighting against the Good Friday Prayer for decades. In 2008, ex-Pope Benedict XVI, an anti-Islam Zionist Christian, altered the prayers to please the Jewish Lobby. However, Foxman was not happy. He said: “We are deeply troubled and disappointed that the framework and intention to petition God for Jews to accept Jesus as Lord was kept intact.” Foxman went on to hold himself out as an expert in Catholic theology, saying the revised prayer “is a major departure from the teachings and actions of Pope Paul VI, Pope John Paul II, and numerous authoritative Catholic documents, including Nostra Aetate.”

Some Christian scholars interpreted Benedict XVI’s alteration as being calling Christ a liar.

Last month, Teachers’ Union sued management of Cranston Public Schools in Rhode Island on behalf of 200 teachers and employees for not allowed to take holiday on Good Friday this year.

Rabbi Bruce Kadden of Temple Beth El in Tacoma, Washington, is an author and involved in Jewish-Christian interfaith dialogues. He explains the difference between the two Jewish religions for the Jews and Christians to understand.

“The primary theological difference between Judaism and Christianity centers on the interpretation of the life and death of a first century Jew, Jesus of Nazareth. Christians believe that Jesus is the Christ, i.e., the Messiah who is spoken about in the Hebrew scriptures, that he died to atone for the sins of human beings, that he rose again and is present in the life of those who invite him in. For Christians, Jesus is the Son of God who represents all truth about God. Jews do not believe that Jesus was the Messiah spoken about in the Hebrew scriptures because he did not free the first century Jews from Roman oppression, nor did he bring about a world of peace and justice envisioned by the prophets. Some Jews are still waiting for the Messiah to come, while others believe that everyone has a role to play in perfecting the world and bringing about the Messianic Age,” Kadden said.

Myself, like over 1.7 billion Muslims don’t believe that Jesus (as) died on a Cross or died at all for that matter. Holy Qur’an claims that the Judeo-Christian stories about the final days of Jesus’ life on Earth, are myths created to serve their religious agenda. Jesus (as) was saved by Allah even before he was to be nailed onto the Cross. Jesus, being a mortal, will return to Earth to die a natural death to prove that he is not part of Allah, the Almighty Creator of this Universe.

Jewish Talmud hates two persons the most; Jesus Christ, his mother Saint Mary. Muslims are very grateful to the G-d of Talmud for not cursing the Prophet of Islam.

Every year during Lent the Jewish-controlled American media broadcast or publish ritual degradation of Christ timed to coincide with Christianity’s holiest season. In 2012, the Jew York Times claimed that Jesus had a wife, based on professor Karen L. King’s (Harvard Divinity School) “Gospel of Jesus’ Wife“, which the newspaper admitted on May 4, 2014 being a forgery.

On March 31, the CBS television network is scheduled to broadcast a two-part, four-hour miniseries The Dovekeepers, which glorifies Jews for rejecting Jesus being a Messiah while blaming Romans for Jesus’ death.

Indian government has even produced a documentary claiming that Jesus lived in Indian occupied Jammu & Kashmir Valley. Watch it below.

To you “hatred” is a sacred commodity as well as the nonsensical term “anti semite”. It is money in the bank and you use that currency quite well. Your Rebbe, Abe Foxman, the spokesman for all Jews and gays everywhere, would be proud.

The problem I have with you is this: Put up or shut up. If you are going to accuse LD of “hatred” you should have “facts” and state them. I know this a is a silly Goy desire, and that it is a fact that The Talmud allows you to lie, cheat, murder, steal, and rape the Gentile nations ( and other Jews or “semites” who do not belong to the club), but those of us who care about facts, truth, morality, justice, honesty, integrity, and honest/open debate demand this of you. You do not get to personalize the definitions. The Old Testament which you should be studying states in Exodus 20:16 ” You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.”

The story of Christ – without the bloody, murderous story of the Old Testament.
New Testament.
JN 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
JN 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life

Christ is the son of God, appeared on Earth in human form.
He is – as his Father and the Holy Spirit something we will never understand: time (past, present, future), material (solid, liquid, gas), dimension (length, depth, height) … thoughts, energy, the Creator in One single entity – turned into flesh.
-Christ is without sin.
-Christ is from Galilee – not a jew!!! – from the land of the goyim
– Joseph and Mary lived in Galilee before Christ was born
– Joseph and Mary moved back to Galilee after Christ was born – most likely not jews,
——Christ is definitely NOT from the line of David
Matthew 22:42-46 – John 8:58 – Luke 20: 44
– Christ was baptized
– Christ started His ministry talking ONLY about his heavenly Father
– He knew who the jews were – they were definitely NOT the chosen ones
John 8:44 “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. “
Matthew 19:28 “…ye also shell sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel
Matthew 12:34 “O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things?”
John 10:26 “ But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, …”
Matthew 21:43 “…The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. “
John 5:42 “ …But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.”
-There were two commendments: Matthew 22:37-40
-The jews persecuted Him from day one
-The jews demanded and made Pilate to kill Christ based on false accusations: John, Matthew, Mark, Acts
-As the jews killed Profets (before Christ) and Apostles (after Christ)
-Christ was NOT a rabbi – He did not teach the “Torah”
-Christ was NOT a messiah – messiah is for the jews ONLY, and it is a political “deliberator”
-Christ was NOT the king of jews, NEVER
JN 19:21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
JN 19:22 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written
-Christ is not a “Christian messiah” either – christianity only existed after the death of Christ – -and as such, christians had never waited for a messiah, nor they had one.
-Christ is not the “anointed one” if you know what the word means, BAPTISM is the element in the New Testament.
-He was killed – but NOT sacrificed for the sins of mankind.
The jews have nothing to do with Christ, never had and never will. They say it themselves.
Christos or Chrestos? (extensive studies)
Did He really say it on the cross???
Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? (Mathew 27:46)
Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? (MARK 15:34)
(My God, My God, why thou forsaken me?)
How could One forsake Oneself??? (extensive studies)
God Bless to all! He is Risen!

Strictly speaking, the jews could never MAKE Pilate and the Roman Authority DO anything because it was THEIR authority which had the final say in ALL matters.

Had they been so inclined, ie;, had they grasped that who and what Jesus was represented an authority over THEM, they would have investigated matters themselves and understood the false accusations being leveled against him.

lash, great poem and choice of pictures, as mme bovary noted, the top one germanic (maybe by a painter named hitler), the rest indian, which by no means disturbs the overall harmony since germany is the most “vedic” of all european nations.

i can see that you miss the sub-himalayan india of your youth, nainital, dal lake and other hill stations.
kashmir in fall is hard to beat and it is said that jesus spent his unaccounted years there before returning to palestine to deliver his ministry.

and don’t let toxic joe get you down, the spray from his busted biliary duct is on display only for couple of posts whereas he must suffer it all his life.
the remissions are cruelly short.

Lobro,
Although that top picture appears Germanic, it is possible for it to be in Kashmir. During the Raj many of the countless Nawabs and other Indian princes built European style buildings and palaces. In HK a rich Chinese millionaire built a French Chateau in the New Territories. Even Bangkok has a beautiful baroque style palace on the grounds of the Bank of Thailand.
